Specification of Letters Patent. Patented Ilfilar, 25, 1919,

Application filed Tanuary 9, 1918. Serial No. 211,084.

To all whom it ma concern Be it known 1; at I, HUGO F. KocH, a citizen of the United States, and a resident of the city of New York, borough of Manhattan, in the county and State of New York, have invented a new and Improved Heater, of which the following is a full, clear, and exact description.

The object of the invention is to provide a new and improved heater more especially designed for use in garages and arranged to heat the radiator 0 an automobile to prevent freezing of the water therein during cold weather. Another object is to provide a heater which when installed in a garage complies with the rules of the tire under writers.

In order to accomplish the desired result, use is made of a lamp casing containing a lamp and adapted to extend through an opening in a wall of a garage, a heatin chamber risin from the top of the sai lamp casing within the garage, the heating chamber receiving the heat emanating from the lam burning in the lamp casing, the

front 0 the heating chamber being corruated and arranged in juxtaposition to the ont of a radiator of an automobile driven up to the heater in the garage. Use is also made of partitions within the heatin chamber, the partitions extending from .t e back of the heating chamber upwardly and forwardly to the front thereof, each partition having-o ningsat its lower end for the passage 0 the cat, and an outlet pi e leadmg from the top of the heating chain er and extendin through a wall of the garage to the outsi e thereof. Use is further made of a cover of felt or other textile material attached to the heating chamber and extending over the radiator and the engine hood of the automobile.

A practical embodiment of the invention in the acco anying in forming a part pf this specification, in w ieh similar a cute corresponding parts in both views.

Figure 1 is a frontelevation of the heater as applied and with partof he henter front shown brokeniout, the co eri g row the sec F g-fisherman! id el ir'a an o the h, e. i mie i ni ti ni The lemma. 1km e'or lamp ,1 and the lamp aracters of reference indi ion 'IQ is adapted to contain 'lampl-l asses tached to the bottom of the lamp casing.-

The door 16 is provided with a vent 19 over the filler cap of the lamp 11 to discharge into the outer air any vapors that may arise from the fuel in the lamp 11 and escape by way of the filler cap, such venting being aided by the obliquely disposed baiile 19.

From the top of the lamp casing 10 with in the garage 14 extends upwardly a heat ing chamber 20 provided with a corrugated front 21 arranged approximately opposite the front of a radiator 22 of an automobile 23 of usual construction and driven up to the heater, as indicatedin Fig. 2; The heating chamber 20 has it's back 23 spaced from the wall 13, and the back23 is pi'eferably provided with a lining 24 of asbestos or other material to protect the Wall 13 from the heat of the heater. Within the heating chamber'20 is arranged a series of partitions 25, 26 and 27 extending from the back 23 upwardly and forwardly and conmeeting at their upper ends with the front 21 at points spaced apart in a vertical di rection, thus dividing the interior of the heating chamber 20 into a series of compartments 30, 31, 32 and 33. The lower ends of the partitions 25, 2.6 and 27 are provided with -o enings 35, 36 and ;,37 to allow the heat from t e compartment 30 to pass by way of the openings 35 into: the compartment 31 andto allow theheat from 'the-latter compartment to pass by way of fire .openings 36 into the compartment-32 andfte permit the heat from this compartment to pass by way of the openings 37 into the topcempartment 33. From the back of this oompartment extends a nip le 40 connected with a chimney outlet, smo e outlet or chimney pipe 41 which passes through anv 01301;? 42in a wall 13 of the on age 10 is connected; by; an, -o "mg 50 witli lhe bottom 35);: the rdomparttn ii w so a t e lh'eatielimhiatmg burning ugh! this openingm into tothe thereof. Itwill be noticed ti at'the'top dfthe lamp the compartment 30 to heatthe corresponding portion of the front 21 of the heating chamber 20. The heat in the compartment 30 can pass by way of the openings 35 into the compartment 31 to heat the corresponding portion of the front 21, and the heat from this compartment 31 can pass by way of the openings 36 into the compartment 32 to heat the corresponding portion of the front 21 and the heat from this compartment 32 can pass by way of the openings 37 into the compartment 33 to heat the to portion of the front 21,. It will be notice that by locating the o enings 35, 36 and 37 near the lower ends 0 the partitions 25, 26 and 27 the heat is retained in the several compartments before passing out of the smoke flue 41. It will also be noticed that. by the arrangement described the corrugated front 21 is eated. from the heat 1n the several compartments and this heat is radiated to the radiator 22 of the automobile to keep the water in the radiator and engine from freezing during cold weather. The heating chamber 20 is provided at the top with an inwardly projecting hood provid d on the top with clamping bars 56 and 5 of which the clamping bar 56 is secured to the hood 55 and the clamping bar 57 is hinged at 58 to the clamping bar 56 and is fastened thereto at its free end by a piv oted clamping screw 59 to hold a cover 60 clam ed between the clamping bars 56 and 57. his cover 60 is made of felt, cloth, or other suitable material, and is. arranged to extend over the radiator 22 and the hood 61 of the automobile 23 to retain the heat emanating from the corrugated front 21 at the radiator 22 and within the hood 61 thereby preventing freezing of the water in the radiator and the water iacket of the engine. It is understood that the cover 60 is removed from the clamping bars 56 and 5 when the automobile is not in position at th heater, but after the automobile has been driven up to the heater then the cover is applied and extended over the hood 61 and the radiator 22 as above explained and shown in Fig. 2. rom theforego' it will be seen that the heater is not iab e. to set fire to the ga-' rage, and the heating chamber is so arrangedits front is. close to, the front of the rad1ator.. 22 0f the automobile after the latter 1's dr ven up in the garage into proper posltion relative to the heater.
